WARWICK ROBBED IN ROME

Soul legend DIONNE WARWICK has fallen victim to thieves who robbed her of $160,000 (GBP80,000) worth of jewellery in Italy.

Dionne Warwick at Trumpet Awards 2007 held at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada - 22.01.07

The Walk On By star, 67, was being treated by medics for a twisted ankle in Rome when the raid took place at Hotel De Russie on Monday (07Jan08).

Robbers made off with two diamond rings, a Rolex watch and a gold necklace among their haul - with the burglary resulting in Warwick being an hour late for her performance in the Italian capital.

She told the crowd, "I'm sorry. I was robbed."
